Do you think you are weak or powerless? Do you think you cannot do anything? Well, let me tell you something. You are, and that is the simple reality. There is another glorious and amazing fact I have to tell you, though. Our Father in Heaven has all power! He spoke the world into existence and gives us breath to breathe and measures the whole universe with the span of his hand. A span is from the tip of your pinkie to the tip of your thumb, when you make a Y with your hand. Think of how big that is! Scientists have not even discovered how gigantic the entire universe is. Our God is enormous and we are small, but He empowers us and uses us to do big things, to impact those around us for His glory. I recently read on The Rebelution blog about a person who did great things through God's help.
"John Shea graduated from college with high honors, accepted a job at a major company in New York, earning $60,000 a year, was offered admission to numerous prestigious law schools, and full-ride scholarships from several – all by the age of "
Guess the age at the end of this sentence..... 17. Yes, he was 17. This teenager was empowered by God to do great things. We must be dependent on the grace of God to give us strength and grace to do everyday things. Father, help us be dependent on you for all things. Accomplish great things through the youth of Village Park Baptist Church. Use us for your purpose and your glory. Amen. Soli Deo Gloria- to God alone be the glory!

Soli Deo Gloria is right. We need to remeber what both John Shea and millions of other teens have done, but most importantly remeber that we don't have to do HUGE hard things, to do hard things. It's just important to start doing small hard things and grow. What's your hard thing?

Firt of all thank you for commenting. Second, you are right. Some of the hardest things we do are small. Things such as loving your neighbor, honoring your parents, or being "dependently confident" in the Lord. :)
